When it comes to coping with adults, I sincerely believe,...

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

,...we should hold them to a higher standard than kids.

We don't.

It is a shame, for the kids.


THAT IS A SHAME, A SHAME, A SHAME.

On edit: if this post makes no sense to you, feel free to destroy it, at will.

1. My standards for kids is having them explain what they're talking about.

:shrug:

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

3. Why should they bother when "leaders" aren't required to meet such a low bar,...

,...of standards?

:shrug:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. "leaders..."

Or message board members...

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

14. Yes.

nt

[seabeyond]

31. because my kids are better than that, and they know it

they want more out of the world and more for the world and they know the only way is if one by one until collectively people decide to live that way. ergo, it behooves them to be one of the one by one to be a part of the collective.

my kids dont feel the need to follow example, they are willing to set it

2. yikes. what have you been smoking....

or drinking?

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

7. You are kidding, yes? nt

[cali]

8. no. and it doesn't look like any one else on this thread is

either. Your post borders on the incoherent. In any case, it's so minimalist as to be meaningless.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

11. I suppose, "minimalist" IS meaningless, in these times.

According to you, my perception should be condemned and done away, with.

Well, at least, YOU are paying attention to my perception, even if you diminish it with your attention.

[H2O Man]

13. I understand the message.

I'm not sure why others would not. It is a fairly clear statement on some of the other discussions on DU.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

15. delete,...wrong post

[AuntPatsy]

27. considering what is deemed appropriate behavior by adults these days especially

if it pertains to political bashing I cannot agree with you more, I don't know how many times that I have attempted to instruct my children NOT to do exactly what is obviously an acceptable way of running for office these days and in days long gone.

Any candidate that agrees with their handlers that smearing others with stupid name calling, making silly little attempts to make another appear stupid and than laugh about it is no role model for any youth of today.

And we wonder why our youth of today have such a problem with respecting the majority of adults when its more than obvious that those running these countries need much more than a time out and should not be in control of enacting and enforcing laws they themselves refuse to follow since they are not and have not been behaving very well from day one.

Why it is acceptable to have the likes of Coulter be a spokesperson and be invited in countless live media outlets supposedly talking for a certain group of people labeled conservatives and in some ways become something of a celeb, shouldn't we realize there is something very wrong in Denmark, well perhaps not Denmark but the good ole USA..

Why it is acceptable for a religious leader to threaten and advocate harm against another individual or spew hateful commentary when we teach our children it is not?

Its hard for me to get my points across at times, this being one of the, because I am so angry that the adult leaders of this country have made it virtually impossible for me to get my children and grandchildren to believe that all adults are deserving of respect, I won't lie to them like that.

I will never demand and will not instruct any youth I come across to admire such hypocritical and bully type adults, I refuse to be a hypocrite in that way by saying such is an admirable trait for any youth regardless if that adult is actually deserving of such respect simply because they are adults.


Our own VP cursed another political partner out on live tv and the media had a climax on how cool he was for doing so, it doesn't matter than he was not aware the cameras were rolling, he never appologized....

Humanity worldwide, religious people, all of us and yes Americans too have a long long long way to go if they want to be taken seriously.

4. why does the prefix "a" mean "not"...

as in asymptomatic means not symptomatic

but ashamed means with shame?

[Lex]

5. I think it should be

"a shame" and not "ashame" in the OP.

:shrug:


Other than that, I have no idea what the OP is about really.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

9. Fixed. The OP is about holding kids to a higher standard than adults.

You have kids?

:shrug:

[Lex]

10. Specifically what kind of "standard" are we talking about here?

Details would go a long way in helping people understand what you are talking about.

An example, an anecdote, a news story . . . anything that would illuminate your point?

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

12. Huh? Lie, cheat, steal,...kill.

:shrug:

WHAT THEY SEE IS: BE IN POWER AND YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH ANY DAMN THING!!!

:wtf:

PROOF??!!??!

LIFE is proof, enough!!!

Details about every oppressive action by criminals are demanded by those who protect scum against their barbarianism.

Why not BE a better human being and fight against oppression?

Why are you defending human evil?

Get paid well?

[Lex]

16. "Why are you defending human evil?"

LOL! :spray:

[AlCzervik]

17. Well Human, explain yourself forthwith!

:7

[Lex]

19. I hold children to a higher standard of childishness.

:rofl:

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

20. I dont' have to,...I am smarter and more armed,...FUCK YOU --- DO AS I SAY!!!!

'kay.

AND I AM NOT ASKING!!!! :grr:

[AlCzervik]

21. what's that now?

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

22. ,...position,...

,...of human beings,...especially, children,...

[AlCzervik]

23. you aren't the only one here who is a parent.

i have a child, one that will be going with me tomorrow to see a democrat that is running for president. I give and sign petitions and go to rallies and protests and i also "Call the congress right the fuck now" all the time.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

25. Do you believe I am demeaning you, as a parent, by my OP?

If so, how?

:shrug:

Am I being confusing about HOW THIS GOVERNMENT TEACHES OUR CHILDREN that, exercise power over others is the end game.

Kids get it.

[AlCzervik]

26. Do you think parents have no influence? I talk to my daughter about politics

and war and a whole host of other issues, children are far more perceptive and intelligent than people give them credit for.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

29. Yes. Kids are perceptive. They are learning the ins-n-outs of the "rule of law"

I am not talking about your allegiances but rather their pure-ass vision of how this country works: the biggest fucking or most manipulative bully collects everything.

Why interfere with THAT?

Right?

[AlCzervik]

30. so your proposed solution is?

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

18. What is your stand on the matter? Are you willing to state a stand?

Or,...not.

[seabeyond]

24. are you kidding. from what i see on kid threads on this board we hold kids to a much

higher standard and expectation that we do any adult.

now what your post is about?, .... but ok, i can go with what you say.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

28. They GET that,....

,...manipulative tyranny will carry you a long way.

Is THAT what they get?

:shrug:

I suppose that's great,...in a tyrannical nation. Our kids will do just fine.

REALLY!!!
